Description
This historic file is the earliest accounting of Phillipsburg, whose residents had been members of Depend Leon’s New Philadelphia Society (1832-33). So much members had seceded from Georg Rapp’s Harmony Society at Economy. The unique non-govt census, penned in archaic German script, is reproduced in full, each and every page dealing with an English translation interspersed with notes. A comprehensive record of NPS members is appended; by means of 1833, many had already left Phillipsburg.
